window()
coord()
like()
debug

Purpose

Set analyzer conditions and gates or polygons of linearizations

Parameters

name

Data element identifier.

qual

Data element qualifier name. Data element identifier and qualifier, respectively, may be given by a name or number. A name may contain wild card characters at any position: '%' specifies one character, '*' a (sub)string of any length. If omitted, uniqueness or reference to the last display is assumed.

cond(c)

Number of the analyzer condition or linearization gate or polygon to be changed. c may also be an asterisk (*) indicating all.
The condition data can be specified by one of the following key words, which are exclusive:

window(w)

For analyzers only: window to be assigned to the condition(s) specified by A channel limit omitted in the number list is replaced by the last specified value (or - initially - the corresponding analyzer limit). An asterisk (*) denotes the analyzer limit. Lower limits smaller or upper limits larger than the corresponding analyzer limit are reset to the latter.

coord()

For two-dimensional analyzers or linearizations, the condition(s) are given by a list of logical coordinates, entered as numbers or global parameter(s). Two successive values are interpreted as the coordinates of one point. Parameter arrays are assigned with the rightmost index varying most rapidly (PL/I and C convention). If only two points are entered, the lower left and upper right corners of a rectangle are assumed. In this case, coordinate(s) may be omitted or given by an asterisk (*). They are replaced in this case by the corresponding previous condition or data element limit, respectively.

like(l)

Condition data are copied from another (or the same) data element. The string 'l' contains data element identifier and qualifier (names or numbers), and the condition number. If the latter is omitted, the number specified with the keyword COND is assumed. If a condition loop is specified using the option COND(*), and if a condition number 'i' is given with LIKE(l), then all conditions beginning with 'i' are copied. Default is 'i' = 1.

debug

Debug switch. Lots of output !

Function

Remarks

In linearizations, the gate is internally stored as 1st (free form) condition. The polygons are also stored as free form conditions starting with no. 2, but they are differently interpreted, as the first and the last point are not connected in displays.
With the key word LIKE(l), some or all conditions can be copied between analyzers, between linearizations, and between analyzers and linearizations and vice versa. CAUTION: Copying free form analyzer conditions to polygons of linearizations and vice versa is allowed. Please keep in mind the different interpretations.
If new polygons of linearizations are created, their reference value must be entered graphically with the command D2LIN.

Examples

ACDEF A / C(*)
Set all conditions of analyzer A. The limits will be prompted proposing the old values. 
ACDEF A / C(2) W(101,200,*,50)
Set condition no. 2 of the two-dimensional analyzer A. The limits in the first dimension are (101,200), those in the second dimension are ('lower analyzer limit of dimension 2',50). 
ACDEF A / C(1) W(C)
Set condition no. 1 of analyzer A using the limits of display window C. 
ACDEF A / C(1) COO(C)
Copy the coordinate values from the global parameter array C into condition no. 1 of data element A. Each two successive elements of C define one point (x- and y-coordinate). A may be either a two-dimensional analyzer or a linearization. 
ACDEF X%%%88   L*  / C(1) L(B LIST 11)
Copy condition no. 11 of data element B.LIST to condi- tion no. 1 of all data elements with names six characters long, beginning with 'X', and ending with '88', and with qualifier names of any length beginning with 'L'. All referenced data elements may be either analyzers or linearizations. 
ACDEF X Y / C(3) L(X Y 4)
Copy condition no. 4 of data element X.Y to condition no. 3 of the same data element. 
ACDEF X2 Y / C(*) L(X1 Y)
Copy all conditions of data element X1.Y to the data element X2.Y. 
ACDEF X2 Y / C(*) L(X1 Y 4)
Copy the conditions with numbers 4 and higher of data 
ACDEF X2 Y / C(*) L(X1 Y)
Copy all conditions of data element X1.Y to the data element X2.Y. 
ACDEF X2 Y / C(*) L(X1 Y 4)
Copy the conditions with numbers 4 and higher of data element X1.Y to the data element X2.Y according to the following scheme:
condition no. 4 of X1.Y ---> condition no. 1 of X2.Y,
condition no. 5 of X1.Y ---> condition no. 2 of X2.Y,
and so on.
